In some states, wholesaling --by law-- is illegal so you have to jump that hurtle before you toss money into the arena. 

Hi all,Couple pictures of hardwood floor sin my rental that I'm turning over now.  Floors have been my biggest issue thus far.  I have a few options to go through and the last thing I want to do is paint over these. W...

The carpet was urine soaked. 

Cat urine stays even after 1 time , if it was that bad the contractor wouldnt go in , its a BIG problem 

Been sitting on the market for a while.So the house has been sitting on the market for 75 days in a hot market, no one is in a rush to get paid, foundation issues, roof imploding, smells like cat urine (the smellier the better), so beat up that all the local flippers are scared of it and/or make insultingly lowball offers that the seller has just been round-binning, but hey it's got a great location.

I've also started replacing all carpet with fake hardwood, it's durable and doesn't need to be cleaned or trap urine like carpet does.

You got past the first big hurtle in real estate investment, signing up and reaching out in BiggerPockets.

After the carpet was cleaned one room smelled terrible of urine.  

Kinda like beating a dog for urinating in the house.

During our initial walk-thru the house, it had a HORRIBLE smell in the kitchen, an equally horrible smell in the family room (pet urine), and we found that the kitchen drawers and cabinets were infested with bugs - we had no idea what they were.
